Upright Meanings
Things are moving. The cycle you've been in is turning. The Wheel doesn't promise good or bad, just that what's now isn't what's next. Lucky breaks, sudden openings, decisions you've been waiting on. Take what comes. Hold the moment loosely. The turn that lifts you was always going to keep going.
Reversed Meanings
The wheel turned the wrong way. A run of bad timing, change you didn't want, or things outside your control pushing on you. Two responses. Cling to the old shape and suffer the pull. Or let go, accept what's actually happening, and start moving with it. The wheel always turns again. Your job is to stop fighting the direction.
